They usually say that when Judgment Day is near, we’ll see a lot of signs pointing to the Antichrist. So for all those who doubt that the PSP is it, first, we get news from Famitsu that the PSP is (surprisingly!) outselling the DS at least as far as this year is concerned. Then, two French exchange students in London get stabbed more than 250 times (one 80 times after he was dead) so that the perps can get away with two unbelievably rare and more-expensive-than-the-Kohinoor-diamond black PSPs. And if that don’t prove it, we’ve got the PSP wreaking havoc with lives here as well, and worse, we’re the ones who started it all.

When Abhinav’s friend got married a couple of months back, he decided that nothing would be better than blessing the happy couple (and the husband in particular) with a PSP. Talking about the London murders last night, Abhinav mentions that the couple, who’ve been enjoying a textbook romance, recently got into their first major fight. Over the PSP, and this time, it wasn’t the usual complaint we’re used to seeing.

After seeing the hubby lord it over the PSP for all these months, his poor wife decided she wanted some quality play time on it, you know, under the whole “for better or for worse” clause thingie. Push leads to shove and the next thing the guy knows, he’s sleeping (or rather, fuming) on the couch while his wife gleefully sits up pulling an all-nighter on the PSP. Ahh, the joys of being married!

Now, of course, this story comes from Abhinav, the self-professed Xbox LIVE whore who’d rather not answer his lonely Guitar Heroine’s calls because he’s deathly worried about losing his killing streak over some complete strangers on Battlefield: Bad Company. Yup, all of us living case studies for psychology majors on how gamers aren’t equipped for relationships that demand a lot of TLC.

And if you still aren’t convinced that the PSP is indeed the snake in the Garden of Eden, come back tomorrow as I make my last post before before heading off to jail. Oh yes, I will be killing Abhinav today, for daring to “misplace” the analog nub on my PSP. And oh, please, think twice the next time before spilling family anecdotes about gaming to me. Chances are, more often than not, that I will find some horribly sadistic, twisted way to put it on here and make a charade out of the whole thing.
